I don't understand how this is useful. If the interrupt line is asserted after the 1st interrupt, how is it ever deasserted later on to be useful. In any case, you could use 'wakeup-source' if that's the functionality you need. Then just ignore the interrupt if 'wakeup-source' is not present. > Second and more importantly, there are devicetrees which have this > property set.

Pretty sure I said this already, but this schema has no effect. Add an extra property to the example and see. No error despite your 'unevaluatedProperties: false'. Or drop 'interrupts-extended' and no dependency error... You won't get errors as there's no defined way to decide when to apply this because it is based on node name or compatible unless you do a custom select, but I don't see what you would key off of here... The real answer here is add a compatible. But I'm tired of pointing this out to the networking maintainers every damn time. Ethernet PHYs are not special. Rob
